There no legit source on NIL unless a player actually shows what he made to the media.
To my knowledge no player has spilled the beans on actual earnings to the media.

You are correct on any one player. However there are sources out there about groups as a whole, which lets you easily deduce these players are making insane money.

Sean Miller said top sec teams are paying 25 million plus for basketball.

Steve sarkisian said top level football rosters are costing 40-50 million. Most of this is going to the top 20 players on the roster with much of that going to the top 8-12 players.

So ya these kids are now making insane money. So much money, they downplay it to not upset the pr apple cart.

From all accounts, Moreno is also getting an absurd amount of money. Do you have the same concerns about him?
Apples & Oranges. Moreno committed to UK early and made it clear it was UK or the NBA. He didn’t jump into the portal and force UK into a bidding war.

A way over-priced MM is a different story. That kid is going to be under the BBN spotlight Day 1…with unreasonable expectations to save the season. MM dragging this out is not helping Pope.

I agree that the expectations may be unsustainable, but what can you do? What is the alternative? We're in a bit of a tight spot here

I will say every player we have supposedly been in the lead for early we don’t get. Seems like the quiet recruitments are the ones Pope actually wins. It’s been quiet but we led instantly into the done deal stuff. We have lost all of those.

The longer this goes, the worse I feel about this one. He CAN’T lose this one and expect to stay here.

At this point it doesn’t matter if he comes or not. Mark Pope has proven to be the worst recruiter in college basketball. He literally can’t sell UK basketball, think about that. He has consistently had to overpay for every player he has gotten. This one will not be any different. This
has been a text book example on how not to handle an off season.

I believe if he does not commit today it's over something not right that much money and not committing.
